Dak Lak (VNA) – Unplanned migrationfrom northwestern provinces to the Central Highlands has fallen thanks to Statepolicies on ethnic minority and mountainous areas.

According to the Steering Committee for theCentral Highlands, 572 households with 1,621 members freely migrated in theCentral Highlands in 2015-2016, a significant reduction from previous years,mainly to Dak Lak and Dak Nong.

The outcome was attributed to State investmentin the northwestern region to improve living conditions in poor, border andnatural disaster prone areas.

Northwestern provinces have also carried outprogrammes to support disadvantaged ethnic minority groups with farmland, landfor housing, and clean water.

The provinces invested more than 3.5 trillionVND (153.8 million USD) between 2014 and 2015 to build transport and irrigationworks, community-based houses, schools, medical stations, and electricitygeneration facilities.

The localities also injected 111 billion VND(4.8 million USD) into supporting farmland for 1,369 poor ethnic households, whileproviding vocational training for about 461,500 villagers.

Currently, all communes in northern Lao Cai,Dien Bien, Ha Giang and Cao Bang provinces have roads for automobiles, andprimary schools, whilst 98 percent of communes are connected to the nationalgrid; 90 percent of children go to school; and the proportion of needyhouseholds has fallen by 3-6 percent on average per year.

Therefore, unplanned migration to the CentralHighlands has decreased, and many families have returned to their hometown.

From 1976 to 2015, the Central Highlands had188,183 unplanned migrant households, mainly from northern provinces to DakLak, Dak Nong and Gia Lai.

The Central Highlands comprises of fiveprovinces, namely Dak Lak, Gia Lai, Kon Tum, Dak Nong and Lam Dong.-VNA
